Chapter 10

The Broken Heart of Black Heart

Noire's POV

I feel so warm right now. I feel like something is holding me gently and keeping me safe from harm's way. I wake up later then I usually do and notice something wrapped around me. I began to scream.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED YOU DAMN PERVERT!" I punch Anthony straight to my bedroom door. I notice him shaking his head.

"Uhhh. . . Why the hell did you punch for?!" Anthony yelled at me.

"Because you were in my bed you pervert." I have no clue why he was in my bed. Did he see me crying? I hope not.

"I'm so damn sorry for comforting you Noire." He was comforting me? My eyes turn to him.

"D-did you see anything last night?" I hesitated to ask.

"I saw you cry last night, so I came in and comforted you."

"You were not suppose to see that Anthony. No one is to see a goddess weak like that." I looked on the floor. He came towards to hug me. I tried to push him away, but to no avail as he had a really tight grip around me.

"I have no clue what is going on with you, but I will help you through this." I looked at him in shock.

"R-really? You're not just saying that to make me forgive you." I don't trust his words on this.

"Of course I will. Did last night not sink in yet Noire?" Last night. . . He just. . . held me close to him. He didn't leave my side.

"I guess I didn't think it happened at all. I'm sorry. It's just I'm in total shock." I haven't had anyone just sit there by my side without wanting something from me.

"I know I'm not exactly the best person for comforting, but when I saw you crying right in front of me I couldn't just let it go. You're my goddess, but also someone that I care for." He smiles as he looks into my eyes.

"Y-you care?" I'm serious thinking he is saying all of this just to open me up so he can destroy me just like everyone else that I let in.

"Whether you believe me or not I care about you Noire." He wraps his arms around me. This is the same warm feeling I felt in my dream. I couldn't get any words to come out at all.

"I'm sorry for hitting you Anthony." I needed to at least say I'm sorry for my inexcusable action.

"You have been forgiven. You're just scared am I right?" He noticed that?! I just looked down trying to hold back the tears.

" I will not try to have you tell me anything, but I'm here whenever you need someone to talk to." I looked at him as I shed a few tears I tried to hold back. He flicked the few tears away from my face.

"You don't need to feel alone Noire. I'm here now." He gives me his brightest smile.

"T-thank you." I just put my head against his chest for a few minutes before I start my work. I get up.

"Let's get to work Anthony." I said with confidence

"Of course Noire. Lets get started." Anthony and I go downstairs. Uni want out for the day to spend time with Nepgear. We decided to bust the work out of the way as soon as we can. He seems to get used to the paper work that I get him to do. I have to go out today and hunt some monsters near the endless plains.

"Anthony? Can you watch the basilicom for me?" I hope he don't mind being her with Uni.

"Sure I have no problem with that, but why?" Always with the questions Anthony.

" I need to fight some monsters today at the endless plains that' why." He is looking at me as if he isn't happy with my response.

"I'm going with you Noire."

"No"

"You can stop me all you like Noire." He grabs his sword and walks towards the basilicom doors. I grab by the collar of his shirt and throw him back to my desk.

"I said NO DAMN IT! You will stay here and that is final you stubborn asshole."

"But!" Is he pleading now? I swear he deserves a good beating.

"I need you here in case something happens. Just be patience. I will be back alright." I give me a small smile to state that I am fine.

"Alright Noire. . . I will stay for now."

"Good and don't even think about coming after me."

"Yes Noire."

"Good. I'm off now. I will be back." I leave to the endless plains. I see the monsters are causing shipment of goods to be stopped. This will be simple. I will just go CPU and destroy them all. I keep fighting off the horde for hours on end. It finally stop as I saw a hooded figure come towards me.

"Long time no see you celestial being." I pulls his sword out.

"You're going to challenge a CPU. Fine by me I will put you in your place then." He charges at me and we begin to fight. He is stronger then I would have thought.

Anthony's POV

I wish I could have gone with Noire. I know she is a CPU and can handle herself well and everything. I just have a terrible feeling that something is about to go down. I look around the basilicom and notice that a lot of work needs to be done today. I don't see Uni anywhere. I heard the doors open. I turn my head to see Uni. I think about it and it happens. How convenient.

"Hello Anthony. You're stilling trying to move?" Uni seems concerning today.

"I can move better today Uni. Don't worry about me so much." I chuckled a little.

"Anthony. . .why you always saying that?" My eyes widen in shock.

"Saying what?"

"That no one should worry about you and anything along those lines. There has to be people that care."

"I honestly couldn't tell who even bothers with my existence. I'm just a disposable soldier. That is all I am. I'm suppose to fight and die. That's all I ever told since I was little." Uni just looked at me and then gives me a hug. The hell?! Why is she hugging me for.

"I care if it makes you feel any better" I jumped a little as I heard that.

"You do?"

"Yea, but that does not leave us you got it?" Being tsundere I see.

"I will keep this to myself. I promise. Thank you Uni." I just let out a small smile.

"Oh. . .you're welcome Anthony." She lets go of me.

"Now come on! Let's enjoy today a little." Uni smiles towards me and grabs my arms and pulls me towards the T.V

"Whoa Uni! You didn't have to pull my arm."

"Well I wanted you to spend some time with me. You better be thankful Anthony. Hmph!" I'm thankful but don't have to be hissy with me. We decide to play some games for a while. She is quite the gamer girl. I'm enjoying myself, but I should be doing some of the work. I guess I can let it slide for today. Seeing Uni this happy around someone beside Noire is extremely rare. I wonder what is up with that.

"I win! YAY!" Uni kicked my ass on this new fighting game. It's like a mixture of Soul Fighter Z and Demon Fist fighting. That is what the games are called here. I guess it is Soul Caliber and Tekken fused together. I didn't think this combo is possible

"Congrats Uni."

"Wanna go at me again." She giving me a grin as if she can beat me over and over again.

"Bring it on Uni!" I got really excited all the sudden. I seem to forget about my troubles. Several hour pass as we play together. I get up to cook some dinner. Today is pork roast.

"Dinner will a few hours Uni. I will keep a eye on the dinner alright."

"Alright Anthony. Um where is my sister?" Uni just now brings this up?

"She is at the endless plains, but it's weird. She should have been back."

"It's most likely a longer mission. I wouldn't worry so much. My sister is very powerful." Uni seems to really trust Noire with her power.

"Alright. . . I will try not to worry too much." I proceed with the dinner. A few hours pass as I try to not think about the fact that Noire isn't back yet.

"It's done!" I shouted to get Uni downstairs. We enjoy our meal of pork roast, carrots and mash potatoes.

"You always seem to make good food Anthony. I never knew a guy that can cook like that." Uni keeps babbling on.

"Well I had to learn how to cook my own food so I didn't starve. My world only had so much to go around. They put so much money into my family's research like morons." This really started to piss me off.

"You must come from a very harsh place." Uni and I finish our food in silence as I clean the dishes.

"You just went silent on me. Why?" Uni is asking a lot of questions today.

"I just rather not think about my old home no more." I put the dishes away. Uni looks into my eyes.

"I see. I'm sorry for asking so many personal questions." I patted her on the head.

"Don't worry about it Uni." I give her a small smile. She nods her head and walks to her room. I sit down as I saw the sun begin to set.

"Noire. . .where are you. . .I need to go and find her." I grab my sword and proceed on my way.

"I'm sorry for disobeying order Noire, but I can't just sit here. I must go to the endless plains." I run to the endless plains. I found nothing, so I keep going deeper and deeper until I found Noire in her goddess form fighting a hooded figure. Zack? No way! I have to stop this before he kills her. I run right in the middle of the fight. The hood comes off and I see Zack's blank face.

"I see the hero comes to save his precious princess. No matter I will just kill you both then.

'Like hell you will!" Noire looks at me.

"The hell are you doing here?!" I had her just stop.

"Don't question me right now. I need to make sure he isn't near you right now. Zack you will not proceed anymore." I draw my sword and readied myself for the fight.

"I'm not standing back. . ." She went back to her CPU form. "Damn. . . I didn't I used that much energy."

"Ha I can finally destroy you." Zack goes for the kill. I stand in front of him and felt his sword go through me. I scream in agony and punched him in the face. I charge at him and we fought as blood began to spill from our bodies. Noire could barely stand right now. Our swords finally cross.

"Anthony you could safe yourself by taking out that woman while she is weak. Come on we can save our world man." Zack pleaded.

"Save our world and see them fuck it up again? Fuck that!" I push him away from him.

"I see. That damn goddess brain washed you!"

"She didn't brain wash me asshole. I'm just finally standing up for myself!"

"I see. . . I'm sorry for this Anthony." He charges at at stabs right through my body. I felt really dizzy as I saw his sword in my chest. I coughed up a massive amount of blood. I knew that my death is near now. This is where I made my last stand.

" I will be back for the goddess. You should proud of yourself for dying for her. I feel like darkness is covering me. I fell as my own blood is surrounding me.

'No. . ire. . .I'm. . .sorry' It's all I could muster before I lost my consciousness.

Noire's POV

The man called Zack stabs Anthony for the second time. I need to get up.

"I will be back for the goddess." That's all I heard before tear started to flow down my face. I ran towards his what I presume dead body.

'No. . .ire. . .I'm. . .sorry' That is all he said before he closed his eyes.

"No. . .NO! Don't go towards the light!" Tears fell on his bloody body as I didn't want to believe that he is dead. I carry his body to the basilicom hospital. The nurses stand around his body trying to bring him back.

"Lady Noire. . .I wish we had good news, but I don't think we can bring him back. We will decide on his life tomorrow. You can stay if you want to."

"Are you sure?" I asked them.

"Of course. I just hope this doesn't hinder with your duties is all we care about." That's selfish of them. A human being is dying right now!

"We will be going now." The nurses leave me alone with him. I sit next to him.

'You're such a idiot. You seriously going to die on me. I didn't give you permission to die Anthony. You're not allow to die. You need to be here with me.' My face is so red from crying so much. I felt something grab my hand. I saw his hand trying to get a grip on me.

'Anthony? Are you alive?' I hear nothing from him. I feel his slow heart beat as if he is trying to fight. I go closer to him and hold his hand.

'Fight Anthony. . .Fight for me.' Ours finger intertwined together. I put my other hand on his chest.

'Don't leave here me all alone. You don't plan on betraying me? You said would never leave me alone. You better not go against your words now.' I try my best to put a tiny piece of a sharicate in him to see if that would save him. Fight hard Anthony. . .Please come back soon. I put my head on him as I fall asleep.
